Seek the truth and
the truth will set you free
“Seek
the truth and the truth will set you free. Peace is
the way. Love is the answer. Harmony is the result.
The
purpose of education, whether religious or secular, is
to help a person function effectively in society. War
is not effective either for the individual or society.
All true religions teach peace. The Golden Rule is a
peaceful principle because it produces equity. We
should share our wealth with our brothers and sisters
because we are all part of the same human family. All
teachings which divide us are false and all prophets
who preach such division are false prophets.
True education empowers us to live in peace by
teaching us the truth about life and liberty,
personhood and society, materiality and spirituality
as a single evolutionary dance.
Where there is no progress there is death. Religion is
dead; it has stopped progress. It produces division,
dominance and death. It is clear that religion is
killing us because it is focused on division and
dominance. Why should you choose one religion over
another? It is a recipe for division, dominance and
death. The first causality of religion is evolutionary
progress.
Islam teaches that its followers should pray towards
Mecca five times a day and once in their lifetime take
a journey to visit Mecca. This is making one place on
the planet more sacred than every other place. It
makes the "then and there" more important
than the "here and now." This is a recipe
for conflict and war.
Judaism teaches that Jews are God's chosen people,
thereby dividing humanity into two racial groups. It
teaches that there is a place on the planet where Jews
have a special right to be, dominant over all the
rights of all other people. This is a recipe for war
because it teaches superiority and dominance.
Christianity teaches dominance as well, in the sense
that Christians believe they have the right to
dominate others into submission, as has been
repeatedly demonstrated throughout history.
Christianity teaches moral and spiritual superiority
and thereby justifies dominance. It teaches that the
afterlife is more important than this life, that the
"then and there" dominates the "here
and now." This is a recipe for war.
Islam, Judaism and Christianity are all recipes for
war. The only true path to peace is the path of
equity, which means we should accept full
responsibility for the basic needs of all people on
the planet. We should share. We should treat each
other as brothers and sisters of the same human
family, looking out for each other's best interests
and correcting each other when we have done wrong.
We should judge religions by the fruits they produce
in reality. Islam, Judaism and Christianity produce
division, dominance and war.”
